Vision 2020

In an attempt to escape reality (a failed attempt though, now that i'm typing this at 12+am before i continue with my CB), a group of us gathered at Marina Square, indulging in RMCB overload (RMCB does not mean Retail Management Consumer Behaviour overload btw, it means Rocky Master ChocoBanana, haha), and came up with the idea of "Vision 2020" for all of us. So here it goes. By 2020, all of us would be around 35-40 years old, having some kind of spending power, experience and skills set, which would help us build the following dream:

This shows an overview of the plot of land which we will all contribute to buy up, and on this piece of land each of us will have a house, and other facilities as well (such as gym, arcade, bbq pit etc). We have also designated positions for everyone, since all of us are assumed to have earned enough money to retire in this place. So here it goes:

1. Real Estate Finance Director: Adrian Zhuang (to find a good deal for the plot of land and ensure the competitive prices of our property)

2. Private Wealth Management Director: Serene Lim (to continue investing our wealth and hopefully increase them)

3. Architect: Wei Siong (to design the actual blueprint of our estate)

4. Security & Maintenance Director: Joseph Sung (to implement some foolproof IT stuff to prevent foreign intrusion - CIT of some sort)

5. Minister of Parliament: Alvin Chia (to protect our interests and rights in the midst of political events)

6. Lifeguard: Zhiqin (to ensure the sustainability of our lives when we swim along the swimming track along the peripherals of the estate)

7. Valet parker & counsellor: Joanna (who was the only one without driving licence who managed to succeed in beating 3 other licence holders in Mario race, as well as the only one who often spends her time on the hp counselling others)

8. Gym attendant: Jiahuan (to maintain gym equipment, to educate those in the estate of the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle and eventually promote a long-term healthy living)

9. Property Manager cum spokeswoman: Natalie (to be our PR in communicating to the external world in any press releases)

10. Receptionist: Serene Ang (to leverage on her expertise during internship as a receptionist to handle the foreseen never-ending calls on our unique concept)

11. Concierge and Complaints Director: Joseph Lin (being the most well-tempered guy who never fails to accede to requests, he will definitely be able to handle incoming complaints from existing residents and resolve issues amicably)

12. Resident photographer cum security camera officer: Wei Siong (being one of our usual photographers, he will constantly update the other residents of events held within the estate through his photos, and is in charge of the strategic placement of security cameras throughout the estate to prevent trespassing)

13. Weatherman: Zhiqin/Ray (depending on which weather we would want for whatever occasion, we will send the "right" person to foresee the "right" weather we want)

14. Butcher: Adrian Goh (being the connoiseur in all kinds of meats, he will supply our daily intake of proteins and recommend daily specials of various high-quality meats)

15. Bodyguard: David (being trained in Muay Thai and his experience as a gym trainer, he will definitely be able to protect any of us against fans - should any of us become famous, assassinators - should any of us become targets of some sort, or violent trespassers)

16. Welfare & Entertainment Officer: Isaac (to organise entertaining events for the estate, being equipped with the necessary skills sets and resources, as proven from our earlier balloon party)

17. Vice President: Adrian Goh (now this vice means VICE - 吃喝嫖赌, so u should understand why he's chosen la huh? =p)

18. Water Sports Director: Keith (being an experienced dragon-boater, he will train us in all kinds of water sports to fully utilise our roundabout pool, to maintain all of our healthy lifestyle)

19. BBQ Pit Manager: Elizabeth (since she likes to cook for others to eat, this position is definitely most suited for her)

how does this idea sound, everyone? :)

Project "Jiahuan's Camera Workshop 101"

Liabilities come with owning a new camera. Here is one of them:

Serene Ang and I bought new digital cameras (first digicam for me), after which both of us grabbed the opportunity to learn some skills of using new functions. The highlight for the night is "十连拍", which resulted in 200+ photos on my first camera-shooting lesson, now i know how much effort goes on before posting photos on blogs... haha:) These are the photos we took at Clarity Cafe for Adrien's birthday celebration, after which we proceeded to Bugis and continued our photo-whoring outside Esprit.

haha that's it for now and everrrr! :)

Just for Laughs 2

This is a letter from a Singh's wife to her son. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Son, Vahe Guru. I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen 20 miles from your home, so we moved.

I won't be able to send you the address as the last Singh who stayed here took the numbers with them for their next house, so that they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works too well, I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since. The weather here isn't too bad. It rain only twice last week. The first it rain for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send you in the mail with all the buttons. So we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

We got another bill from the funeral home. It said that if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's funeral, she will come up again. Your father has a new job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting grass at the cemetery.

Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it's a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jatinder fell in a whisky vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pick-up truck. One was driving, the other two were in the back. The driver got out, he rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other drowned because they couldn't get the tail gate down.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love Mom
P.S : I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

Just for Laughs

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful
(spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy.
I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at
least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind
that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think
I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could
you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around
200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get
me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married
to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as
I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I
get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars,
restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east
side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have
nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead
gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story
there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment
banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they
hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for
MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest
way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front
about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't
able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a
nice home and hearth.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial
interests

PostingID: 432279810

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully
about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament.
Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your
bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I
see it.

Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a
crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you
suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring
my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my
money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely
that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't
be getting any more beautiful!

So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning
asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation
accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty
hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in
earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!

So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy
and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense
to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case
you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were
to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's
as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.

Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So,
I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"
as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to
believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K
hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.

By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then
we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way.
Classic "pump and dump."
I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of
lease, let me know.

A story abt a mouse and a mouse trap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this contain?' The mouse wondered - - - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning : There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!' The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, 'Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.'

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, 'There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!' The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.'

The mouse turned to the cow and said 'There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!' ! The cow said, 'Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose.'

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap . . . alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did! not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife.

The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took hi! s hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember ---- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

That's what friends are for... RIGHT??
